I dive into the strange world of people who want authority but have zero clue what comes with it. From young apprentices who think they’re journeymen, to inspectors who suddenly love the taste of power, to actors complaining while cashing million-dollar cheques — this episode is about responsibility, ego, work ethic, and reality checks.

I talk about what real responsibility actually looks like, why some people chase status without understanding the consequences, and why I’m not rushing into leadership until I’m actually ready. Then I get into fame, acting, singing, and what I’d really do if I ever made “one big million-dollar hit.”

It’s honest, ranty, relatable, and full of the stuff people think but never say out loud.

• Why young workers overestimate their skill level

• The danger of giving authority to people who only want power

• Reality of being a van driver vs. the fantasy

• Inspectors with ego vs. inspectors with experience

• Why actors complaining about long hours gets zero sympathy

• My dream life: big impact, no fame

• If I ever made one hit song — I’m out

Highlights

This one goes everywhere: busted microphones, jealous stares at million-dollar houses, and why people love hating anyone more successful than them. I get into the bad math politicians and media throw around, the truth about wealth resentment, and how the younger generation got handed an economy that makes homeownership feel like sci-fi. From there, it turns into a full breakdown of taxes, politics, and why voting with feelings instead of facts has backed us into a corner. It’s blunt, confrontational, and probably offensive to anyone who refuses to take responsibility for the mess we’re in.

Highlights

• The “your mic’s on, dude” moment

• Envy vs. resentment — and why most people confuse the two

• The $500 million / $1 million-per-person math fail

• Why today’s housing market would’ve crushed past generations

• Rich people aren’t your enemy — your votes are

• Liberal damage vs. conservative course correction

• The uncomfortable truth about relying on the government

• Fixing the country starts with owning the screw-up, not blaming success

I rant about people who stop in doorways (and Costco aisles), a 10-minute drive-thru purgatory at the wrong window, and street-blocking small talkers. Then we pivot to local and federal politics: why I started paying attention, why home ownership feels impossible, and why I think Canada needs common-sense fixes now. It’s blunt, fast, and very Calgary.

I riff on why a sudden, unstoppable end (like a nuclear strike) weirdly doesn’t scare me—because if we all go together, there’s nobody left to mourn. From there I talk about pain and “interesting experiences,” why honesty beats getting caught, how wives have a sixth sense, and why “anyways” isn’t a word. It’s raw, a little dark, and very straight-up.

I go off about my #1 social pet peeve: people who never respond. If you’ve ever called, texted, voice-memo’d, and still gotten radio silence, this one’s for you. I talk phone etiquette (why even have a phone if you don’t use it?), why long text wars are a trap, and when a quick call saves everyone’s sanity. From there, I get into social battery management, honest boundaries with family, and how people-pleasing still sneaks up on me—even when I swear I don’t care. It’s blunt, a little petty, and very real.

Highlights

• The “ghosted while you’re home” phenomenon

• Text loops vs. one decisive phone call

• Setting clean endings to conversations (without being a jerk)

• Social energy, gossip fatigue, and saying “no” plainly

• Honesty vs. rudeness, and why five minutes of truth beats months of weirdness

I pick up where I left off—this time taking on the word “overstimulated.” Do we really need a clinical label for “there’s too much going on,” or are we complicating what used to be simple? I unpack when that feeling is real, when it’s an excuse, and why plain language (“I’m overwhelmed”) helps more than buzzwords.

From there I zoom out: phones, social feeds, and even ChatGPT have rewired habits and expectations; we’ve become dependence-first, solutions-second. Then I wade into energy common sense—oil & gas vs. wind/solar, grid reality for EVs, and why nuclear deserves a serious look if we want reliable power without fantasy math. Through it all, the theme stays the same: simplify the words, face the work, and make choices that hold up outside of slogans.

Highlights

• “Overstimulated” vs. “overwhelmed”: why the wording matters

• Tech dependence and attention drain

• Energy practicality: reliability, cost, and trade-offs

• A plea for fewer labels, more accountability, and actual problem-solving

“Triggered” gets tossed around like confetti—and it’s emptied the word of meaning. This episode digs into why that bugs me: not because people don’t have real pain, but because slapping “triggered” on every disagreement shuts down thought, conversation, and growth.

I talk through what counts as genuine harm vs. simple discomfort, why emotions still need steering, and how tough love and patient coaching can help (including with autism—acknowledging severity matters while still leaving room to try, teach, and adapt). If an opinion upsets you, say “that bothered me—and here’s why,” and let’s trade reasons. Debate is healthy. Labels aren’t arguments.

Key beats:

• Words matter: overusing “triggered” makes it useless.

• Disagreement ≠ attack; offense ≠ trauma.

• Try first, adjust second—especially with kids who need structure.

• Swap reactions for reasons: explain, don’t explode.

• Respect stays; open minds win.

This one starts off with a simple question — did people in those old medieval movies actually smell that bad? But it turns into a full-blown rant about how crazy modern life really is. From pointless power bill fees to the tax system that punishes success, to AI coming for every cushy desk job out there — it’s a mix of old-world honesty and new-world chaos.

It’s about working hard, thinking for yourself, and realizing how disconnected modern life has gotten from reality. Because back then, they might’ve stunk — but at least they built something real.

This episode dives headfirst into Canadian politics — no script, no sugarcoating. From Doug Ford ticking off Trump to Mark Carney’s economic mess, it’s a raw breakdown of what’s really going on behind the scenes. Why does Canada keep making the same mistakes? Why are we in more debt than ever? And what happened to basic common sense?

It’s an honest talk about frustration, leadership, and how a country with endless potential somehow keeps falling behind. Whether you agree or disagree, this one’s meant to make you think — and maybe, finally, start talking about it.

Let’s be honest — TikTok isn’t helping anyone. It’s a trap disguised as entertainment, a scroll that never ends, and somehow we convince ourselves it’s “news.” This episode breaks down how endless scrolling kills time, focus, and real connection — and why checking someone’s story isn’t the same as actually knowing them.

It’s about attention, comparison, fake connection, and the quiet addiction we’ve all accepted as normal. From the illusion of “staying in touch” to the way social media shapes negativity, this one calls it like it is — maybe it’s time to delete the app and call a friend instead.

This one dives deep into what participation trophies really do — and how they quietly chip away at the reason we try in the first place. From sports to the trades, life runs on incentive, struggle, and the lessons buried in failure. If everyone gets the same reward, what are we even chasing?

This episode explores how losing can actually be the greatest teacher, why pain and progress need each other, and why consequence isn’t always a bad thing. It’s about earning your wins, learning from your losses, and realizing that growth only happens when there’s something real at stake.

This episode starts off one way… and takes a wild turn. What begins as a rant about bad drivers becomes an unexpectedly deep (and hilarious) appreciation of K-Pop Demon Hunters. From refusing to watch it to calling it “exceptional,” this review dives into what makes the movie surprisingly great — from its vocals and music production to how underrated the performers are. There’s also a nostalgic detour through Bieber’s evolution, the shame of liking pop stars in school, and how growing up changes what we value in music.

By the end, it’s part film review, part music commentary, and part reflection on how we learn to appreciate art — all wrapped up with a classic rant about drivers who don’t go the speed limit.

Everyone's Got ADHD

It feels like everyone suddenly has ADHD—or at least says they do. This episode digs into how over-diagnosis, medication culture, and social media have blurred the line between real ADHD and everyday distraction. It’s an honest, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable look at how mental health labels have become trends, how anxiety gets romanticized, and why “tough love” might work better than constant comfort.

Why Equal Rights Doesn’t Exist
Equality sounds simple — but is it? This episode takes a hard look at what “equal rights” really means in today’s world, and how modern society has blurred the line between fairness and favoritism. From workplace incentives to gender expectations, the conversation questions whether equality has become more of a slogan than a standard. It’s an honest reflection on balance, fairness, and what true equality should look like when no one gets special treatment.

In this unfiltered and hilarious episode, Ethan Fischer dives into everything from Katy Perry allegedly dating Justin Trudeau (and why that’s a downgrade) to global warming, AI girlfriends, and the death of real-world standards.

He takes listeners on a wild ride through Canadian pride, climate logic, and the dangers of digital perfection — explaining why snow should disappear, why Tim Hortons betrayed Canada, and why AI-generated girlfriends might just ruin humanity.

A mix of comedy, opinion, and real talk — only the way Ethan can deliver it.

“Laughing Through the Darkness: Dave Mowry on Comedy, Mental Health, and Finding Light Again”

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Ethan sits down with comedian and mental health advocate Dave Mowry, who opens up about his journey from homelessness and bipolar disorder to rediscovering purpose through stand-up comedy. Together, they dive deep into the realities of mental illness, marriage, success, and how humor can literally rewire the brain.

From suicidal lows to laughter-filled highs, Dave’s story proves that sometimes the best therapy is a good punchline. Ethan and Dave swap stories about resilience, love, and learning to laugh at life’s messiest moments—because if you can find the joke, you can find the strength.

I’m Sorry… You Bought That?
Some cars on the road just make you stop and ask why? In this episode, Ethan dives into the mystery of vehicles that probably should’ve never left the design room (looking at you, Kia Soul and Nissan Juke 👀). From hideous paint choices to questionable design decisions, nothing is off limits. But it’s not just about cars — we get into the messy truth about electric vehicles, how governments contradict themselves on energy, and why the word “literally” doesn’t even mean what it used to. This one’s part rant, part reality check, and all classic “Weirdo” chaos. Buckle up — it’s gonna be a ride.

Pee Theory & Power Tools (with Bob LeMent)

Static Radio’s Bob LeMent drops in and we go full curiosity-mode: gas-pump urinals (for efficiency!), splash-free bathroom “engineering,” and the eternal battle between grit, ice, and cracked Calgary windshields. We trade trade-stories (HVAC bravado, glove mishaps, ladder wounds), wander into pee-powered batteries, Aquaman slander, and why hands-on skills still beat desk jobs—for now. It’s half comedy, half “wait…is that actually a good idea?” with a little faith, family, and friendly roast mixed in.

Are Billionaires Really That Bad? — I riff on incentives, taxes, and why most people don’t spend a decade becoming a doctor “just for fun.” From managers losing motivation under higher tax brackets to how founders reinvest (and risk) their way to huge outcomes, I make the case that success and wealth aren’t automatically evil—and that policy has trade-offs. We hit doctors vs. McDonald’s wages, why companies pass costs along, Elon-level reinvestment, and the role of risk, bankruptcy, and reward. Agree or not, it’s a spicy, no-notes dive into ambition, incentives, and what “fair” really means.
